Carlos Ortiz's lawyer says he might move to suppress his client's statements to police following his arrest in Connecticut last summer after accessory charges in the Odin Lloyd's murder.

"We're saying that he's innocent, that he had no involvement," defense attorney John J. Connors said after Ortiz's pretrial hearing Thursday in Fall River Superior Court.

Connors said he also expects that prosecutors will soon provide him with a bill of particulars, a legal document that will explain the basis for Ortiz's accessory charge.

"I still need to know exactly what my client did to be an accessory after the fact other than riding along and being a person who was just there," Connors said.

"He (Ortiz) happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever went on, he had no part in it, from our view," Connors added.

Prosecutors say Ortiz, 27, of Bristol, Conn., accompanied Lloyd, 27, former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, 24, and Ernest Wallace, 44, to a North Attleborough industrial park on June 17. Minutes later, the three men left the industrial park without Lloyd, whose body was found there the next morning. Lloyd was shot five times with a .45-caliber handgun, which has not been recovered.

After Lloyd's murder, prosecutors allege that Ortiz talked with Hernandez's cousin, Tanya Singleton, about fleeing to Puerto Rico. Singleton has also been arrested and charged with conspiracy and acting as an accessory after the fact.

Ortiz appeared for Thursday's pretrial hearing wearing a beige dress shirt and tie and looking bulkier than in past court appearances. The hearing consisted mostly of routine administrative proceedings, with prosecutors saying they did not object to Connors' requests for discovery materials and other evidence.

First Assistant District Attorney William McCauley said prosecutors expect to send more discovery materials early next week to the attorneys representing Hernandez, Wallace, Ortiz, Singleton and Shayanna Jenkins, Hernandez's fiancee, who is charged with perjury.

Connors said he expects to be reviewing more than 200 data discs containing police reports and other materials through the end of February.

In related matters Thursday, Hernandez's lawyers filed their proposed version of a gag order that would formally prohibit all parties in the case from making comments outside the courtroom and in the media that could theoretically prejudice the public against Hernandez, who is charged with murder and firearms violations.

In their proposed gag order, Hernandez's lawyers want prosecutors to obtain written statements from all "agents of the commonwealth," such as police detectives and prosecutors, that they understand and will comply with the gag order. The agents would also have to sign a statement, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that they have not previously leaked prejudicial information to the public.

In addition, Hernandez's defense team wants the Bristol County District Attorney's Office to document its compliance with the gag order and to investigate all future instances where its agents are suspected of making prejudicial statements or providing unauthorized information to the media.

Prosecutors are expected to submit their proposed gag order later this month.

According to court records, Ortiz, when he was arrested last summer in Bristol, Conn., spoke with detectives investigating Lloyd's murder. Ortiz, who was not represented by a lawyer at the time, told detectives that Hernandez and Wallace were outside their vehicle in the industrial park when Lloyd was shot. Ortiz said he was sleeping, heard a gunshot and then saw Wallace and Hernandez return to the vehicle. Prosecutors said Ortiz later changed his story to implicate Hernandez as the lone gunman.

Ortiz also recounted conversations between Hernandez and Lloyd in the vehicle, told police that he saw Hernandez carrying a handgun and made apparent references to Hernandez's alleged "flophouse" in Franklin that "other football players used" and where investigators said they found evidence, including clothing and ammunition, according to court documents.

Those police reports fueled speculation that Ortiz will be the prosecution's star witness against Hernandez. The fact that Ortiz was not indicted with Hernandez and Wallace in August raised suspicions that he was cooperating with investigators, although a grand jury indicted Ortiz in late September.

Connors said Thursday that he was focused on preparing his client's defense.
